 Chapter 1

Before my crazy life happened, it started on the year 2019, 25th day of January, in the Barrymore
Theatre in NYC where I was patiently waiting Cate outside along with the other fans and
unfortunately, paparazzi.

"I still can't believe we will meet her today!", I said to my friend, Mia, while holding my poster of
Cate. It is the first poster that I have since 2013, which I was only 18 by that time. And I became
her fan because of her movie, Blue Jasmine. She is just...really an amazing actor and of course, as a
human being. I adore her so much. Beside the fact that I want to meet her, I also hope I would be
lucky enough to get an autograph today.

There's a lot of people you would immediately see whether who's really a fan or not. It is nice to
talk to some fans, because they are actually nice to chat with. Some are... rude, i think? there's with
pushing and kind of shouting just to go in front of the barrier, which is obviously those paparazzi.

"Yes, I know! you already said that a thousands of times. I love you but if you keep hitting my arm,
I will smack your flat ass in front of her.", Mia said but I just laugh at her. I know her too well, and
I can't make her do that. I might die because of embarrassment. Honestly, she only come along
with me because I think she just can't deny my request and she loves me? yeah maybe that last part.

I saw some staff's are already Infront of the way, and I cannot keep my excitement. I'm thinking
what would I say to her. I'm also very nervous. Literally, mixed feelings. The fact that I would
literally have chance to at least talk to her for a second? It would be everything to me.

but then 10mins............

My phone is close to low battery as I tried to distract myself. I can also hear Mia, swearing to her
game from her phone as she keep dying, continuously.

"Are you sure that she will come out in our way? I mean she might be avoiding the paps, you
know.", She said. I know that she is bored and tired. I can't blame her, I drag her here suddenly
today. I know for the fact that she's not interested in this kind of events. I turned to her face and I
said, "Do you want to go home?". I completely understand her if she wants to. "How about you? I
mean I told my mom I would go home late, so it's okay.", Mia said while stretching her arm.
Because one hour and a half have already passed but still no sign of Cate, and some already left.

I look to the door sadly, but still hopeful, "5 more minutes, then we'll go home", I said looking at
my watch, It's already 5:47pm. 2mins after, someone from the staff said that the rehearsal was
cancelled.

Until five minutes have passed, nothing happened. "Let's go.", I said giving up. "Oh really? yes!
okay let's go", Mia said quickly. As we are walking by, my mind is...out of this world. If ever Mia
said something, I wouldn't hear it. I was just really sad. I want to meet her, but maybe it's really not
my lucky day.

Mia waved her hand in front of my face, "Hey, y/n! ghad, you are really not listening. I know it
sucks but please, focus where you walk. If you keep floating your mind off, I will definitely laugh
at you if you bump in some trees.". I rolled my eyes. She continued, "As I was saying, my little
brother have a math-crisis in his school. Mom called a while ago, which you didn't heard by the
way, so I will go home earlier than expected.". "Oh, sure. Do you need help? I could come with
you. I miss hanging out with that little kid, specially with your mom", I said while grinning. She
knows exactly that I want to eat some of her mother's delicious dish. Really, their food every day
looks like you ordered in a very luxurious restaurant. The food is always amazing. "I'm fine and,
no. First, My brother will definitely not going to help me when he's distracted playing with you.
And second, my mother is not at home so again, no. But take care, alright? Tell me when you got
home. I love you." she said and spank my ass as her goodbye. "Do you love my butt that much?
you keep doing that! I love you too!" I said shouting with a smile in my face.

It's 7 pm but I'm still walking nowhere. I don't know where to go but I still don't want to go home.
As I was walking in the dark street side walk, There some are people passing by. Some because
they will eat somewhere or go home from work, and some are homeless who's been living here for
a while. As I just minding my own business, I saw something moved.

I jumped as if it would save me from something. "what the fuck, I nearly died.", I said. Mindless
who ever heard that. I stopped for a minute, and cautiously approached whatever the fck I saw. I'm
nervous but my curiosity side always win.

I saw the shadow moved again, and I was shocked to what I found.
 Chapter 2

"fuck, please not a killer. Not a killer.", I said loudly. "I would only allow Cate to kill me, so spare
my life.", I continued. Overreacting mode.

I picked-up the stick I found, I hold it as if it will save my dear life and use it to moved the trash
bag.

A squeak.

"Oh my god! Okay, it's just a fucking rat. Y/n, you could calm down now.", I said breathing
slowly. I continue rambling out of relief, "I thought it's a dead body. Oh god, that would be
terrifying". Because I can't see a shit thing, I stumble from something.

No, it is SOMEONE.

I screamed then shouted, "HOLY COW WHO ARE YOU? YOU CAN KEEP EVERYTHING
BESIDES MY POSTER AND MY LIFE. DON'T FUCKING KILL ME!". I saw the reflection of
the person who's now in front of me, but still couldn't see the face.

"Shit, I'm sorry. I'm not a murderer, really. Are you alright?", She said while offering her hand. I
grab her hand and stand up. "Yes, thank you. But what are you doing out here? fuck, It's literally
dangerous to go in this place. I'm still not sure if you're really not going to kill me. You gotta be
careful, you know. Who knows, I might be the murderer? ...but okay I'm not.", I said rambling
while squinting my eyes to her face. She's tall, that's the only thing I could describe because I can't
see anything.

Oh wait, there's one more thing.

Before she even start to talk, I interrupt her. "Sorry but do we know each other? or perhaps, do you
leave nearby? you just really sounds someone I know.". I immediately get my phone from my sling
bag to open the flashlight near to her face. Her gorgeous face.

.....My soul definitely left my body. Everything in my system stopped from functioning for maybe
a minute.

Then it hit me.

"HOLY MOTHE--", I didn't finish my sentence when she suddenly cover my mouth using her left
hand, I saw her puffy eyes widened. "Sorry but please don't shout, sweetheart. No one knows I'm
here.", she said while smiling a little and carefully removing her hand to my mouth. I nodded.

"How'd you know that I really know who you are?" I said giving my best to be serious, but
obviously just trying to ease the situation. "Oh ...you don't ...you don't actually recognize me?", she
said. Quite shocked and embarrassed.

"I'm kidding. I absolutely know you.", I said while smiling. I also raised my poster, where some
corners was torn a little.

I saw her smile. I think it's genuine this time and she replied while crossing her arms, "So that's
what's happening here, huh? are you a clown, perhaps?". My smile didn't fade away, "Maybe?"
and I wink at her. God, I wink at CATE FREAKING BLANCHETT.
Then I continued, "Can you please give me a minute? I need to process whatever dream is this." I
said then I turned around whispering 'oh my god' a lot of times. Fuck, I'm literally simping right in
front of her. Why did I do that? I need to knock myself some sense.

"Sorry for that. Ohh Before I lose my chance again, I want to ask you something, if that's okay?", I
said hopefully. "Anything, ask away", Cate said. "Uhm, you can definitely decline but can you...
can you sign my poster? I would understand if you don't, like really.", I said. It's very embarrassing.

She looks at me, "Yes, darling. But unfortunately I don't have a pen, Do you have one?". I
whispered, "shit, Mia didn't return my pen.", I look at her again, " I... I don't have one.". I said
sadly. "Shit, okay. We can maybe--If you want, you can get your poster tomorr--oh if you have
time, maybe? If not then uhm, maybe another day? or any day that you have extra--", I interrupted
her.

"TOMORROW?! YES I HAVE TIME, JUST FOR YOU!", I replied excitedly. "In the Barrymore
Theatre, right? I was there a while ago". I said shyly. She smiled, "Of course you are. You can go
anytime tomorrow, I will give you this poster personally.". She continued while looking at her
watch, "I'm sorry to cut this short, but do you mind if I go ahead? I think I need to go back, my
dear. They might call the police anytime soon," she smiled and continued, "I really just escaped
from Hylda." Cate said shyly. "No, yes of course. I'm sorry for... disturbing you. Thank you,
really." I said gratefully.

"Wait, how about you?" she said before she leaves.

"What me?", I replied confused.
"I mean how are you going home?", she said.
"I could walk, Cate?", she looked at me, seriously.
"very funny, but let me give you a ride home".
"Thank you, but i would respectfully reje--" again, she stopped me from talking.
"You already said that it's dangerous out here, so I insist. Let's go, y/n." then walk where ever her
car is.

"WAIT! how did you know my name?" I said while following her. "and are you sure where your
car is? or this is the actual plan before killing me?" I ask her jokingly.

When we arrived in her car, she opened the passenger seat, "Hop on, Miss Joker", she said. I laugh
at her and replied, "Thanks, Godzilla".

When she finally seated, she said, "Put your address here", pointing at her phone and I did. Then
suddenly she continued, "I heard you, a while ago.".
I look at her, puzzled.
"I said I heard you, that's why I know your name. And to answer your question, did you just said
that you would allow me to kill you? So it isn't a problem if you'll die tonight, y/n? right?", she
said, then looked at me for a second with her grinning smile.

I looked away, she knows what exactly she's doing. So i replied matching her grin, "Maybe, I could
even help you get away from your crime. It's a pleasure to die because of you". She laughed at my
statement.

"Now you would like that, don't you?"

"I would love it." I said playfully.

"Okay uhm, not to intrude to your personal problem, but are you... okay? I just noticed your eyes
looks like you cried a while ago. I'm just concerned, you know. Not to mention you're hiding, that's
quite unexpected spot.", I said carefully continuing the conversation.

"I'm...fine, yes... Before I forgot, I want to say sorry because I didn't show up in the Theatre a while
ago. I know you waited outside, and I'm sorry for that. And I also want to apologize for seeing me
in that state earlier, Y/n. If it's okay to you, I hope no one would know what you saw." She said.

Maybe she doesn't want to talk about her problem. I mean obviously, I'm a stranger. I looked at her,
"Of course. I didn't even thought about sharing it to others. And It's really okay, Cate. You don't
have to apologize for that. I understand you, completely. There's really some point in our life that
we just needed to at least be alone, To just cry or think those problem and let our self be vulnerable.
So please, don't apologize for choosing yourself, Cate.". She looked at me for a minute, right in my
eyes before she focus at the road again. I want to think that she knows that everything that I said is
true, that I genuinely gets her even she doesn't tell me what exactly it is.

Instead, she lets me see her gorgeous smile, again. "Thank you, y/n".

exactly after that, her car is now parked outside of our house. I just realized that Cate actually drive
me home and it's not a dream anymore. "So, we're here.", She faced me and continued, " Let me
say thank you again, Darling, for at least not letting me get killed by someone.", we both laugh,"
Thank you for your kind and comforting words, y/n. I appreciate everything.", She hugged me
tightly, as she finished talking. "No worries, Cate." I said before we parted.

Before I close her door, I jokingly bow at her, "Thank you and goodnight, my Goddess Cate. Take
care, will see you tomorrow!", giving my biggest smile to her.

I waved at her until I can't see her car anymore. I jumped excitedly as if I won from a lottery. I am
very sure that I look like crazy outside, but who cares?

As I was walking towards the front door of our house, I know from that moment that I will be
thinking this all night. It's been a crazy day for me.
 Chapter 3

January 26, 8:19 am.

"bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt"

"bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt"
"bzzzt bzzzt bz--"

"for the last time--". My alarm keep buzzing so I slammed it on the table just to shut up. I always
start my day just surfing into social media before I actually get up, but now I can't find it in my
bed. I lazily put my hand in the table to feel where is it, then i felt it in the near corner of the table.

"gotcha", but then I fell on the bed. I groan out of frustration. What a great day to start with.

before my mood could get any worse, I decided to take a bath. Then afterwards, I made a simple
breakfast; pancakes. To be honest, I've run out of stock. I seriously need to get some grocery today.
So I dress up my usual outfit when I need to buy outside: A comfy black sweater and denim pants.

I'm brushing my teeth when I remembered that I'm going to meet Cate freaking Blanchett,
again?!?! why did I forgot about it? I quickly changed only my top to white long sleeve shirt, which
I unbutton the first 3 of it, also pair it with black boots and my sling bag.

It's already 9:10 am when I checked my watch. I decided to just walk to the Theatre so I wouldn't
spend a ride, we need to save money these days. While walking, my thoughts are somewhere else.
What did I do to deserve meeting her? and I actually talked to her almost whole night, then now
I'm going to see her again for my autograph? I feel like I'm hallucinating these things, but I already
hit my head this morning so... its real? This is still unbelievable to me.

I'm now here, right in front of the entrance. As I'm trying to ease my nervousness, suddenly some
tall guy, maybe a bodyguard from the looks of his formal attire, approach me. "Are you y/n?", he
said straightforward. "Y-yes?", I replied confused. "Come with me.", he said while walking away.
Why people keep walking away? geez.

I don't know where are we, but I'm sure it's a lot of doors I'm seeing. We stop at the last room,
'CATE BLANCHETT' was written in the paper that posted in the door. I was too stunned to speak.
He knocked 3 times and he said, "Ms. Blanchett, she's here.". With that statement, the door finally
opened and god, she looks ethereal.

I saw her glam team busy fixing her look, "Oh! Good morning, y/n. Hylda, please give to this pretty
the paper bag", Cate said while giving me an eye contact from the reflection of the mirror. Hylda
nodded and gave it to me.

"Why-- Shocks wow, this is a lot... Thank you so much.", I said.

"You're welcome... did you eaten already?", she replied.
"Yes, I have. uhm...I will go outside?", I said shyly.
She looked at me again, her forehead frowning, "What? why? you don't like here?".
"No i mean, you're busy. I just thought I might bothering you."
"No, no it's fine. You can stay here, I even bought you some lunch to eat. But if you're
uncomfortable, you can go." She said, my heart is racing so fast.
"I will stay" I just said quietly and seat on the sofa.

after an hour of distracting myself using my phone, I saw her stand up and already finished in her
look. I am starstruck so I end up staring at her. She might be wearing her usuals, but she still look
good. Never doubt it.

My day dreaming suddenly stop with a snap of a finger.

"H-huh? what?" I tried not to look at her eyes, so I looked at her nose instead.
"Are you okay?", she said and I nodded while I try to look away.
"Why are you staring at me, by the way? You like me that much, don't you?" she said while
smiling and playfully raising her eyebrows up and down. I blushed in her sudden question, I tried to
hide it by confidently saying, "My goddess, you look gorgeous. So, maybe that's a yes."

She laugh, "you are cheeky one, aren't you? But, thank you."
"That's who I am, I guess", I shrug.
She just shook her head, "Let's go". Then she pulled me up.
"What? where? where are we going?", I asked and stopped in my position.
"You are cheeky but you surely always confused and not listening, I need to take some notes".
She continued, "Miss ma'am, do you want to watch our rehearsal? or not?".
"Yes, of course. I want to." I said while nodding.

She held my hand and pulled me again without saying anything until we go outside. I don't know if
it's because I'm nervous, but I just felt some electric spark when she did that.

--------------------

She end up getting a seat beside Morag, "You could seat right here. If you need anything, just ask
Morag. The rehearsal will start now, so I need to go. Please enjoy, y/n" She said before leaving.

I smiled at Morag and practically introduce my self when I sat beside her, she did the same. We are
seated almost center front, a sweet perfect spot.

"you're lucky", she suddenly blurted out.

"Oh?... Yes, maybe? I met her and I'm here talking with you. To be honest I follow you in ig, and
you kinda replied some of my comments in your posts. So it's really nice to meet you." I said shyly.
"wait, really? It's also nice to meet you, y/n. But that's not what I meant." she replied.
"What it is then?" I asked.
"You know, she never invited any of her friends to watch her rehearsal, only when it's the actual
day of the play."
"What? it's that true?"
"Yes"
"But maybe because she wants to save the best part? and we just met yesterday so I don't know if
she see me as her friend already?... aaaand maybe because I have favor that I asked; the autograph,
so it's a one time thing." I shrugged.
"Y/n, I'm sure it's not going to be the last time. Take it from me." she smiled.

Right after that conversation, I saw Cate doing her act. I captured some, no, I think it's quite a lot.
Morag didn't stop me so maybe, it's alright to take a picture.

Me and Morag kinda clicked so we somehow enjoyed talking with each other while watching. And
of course, their rehearsal is really amazing, you could see them connecting to each other. I love
how they could easily give those emotions needed, I know for sure that this would be perfect in the
actual play.

It's already 6pm and before they end the rehearsal, I shot some photos again, but this time,
Focusing on her only. She then go backstage after saying her good-byes to them. Morag said we
 have to go back now, so I simply followed her.

When Cate finally saw me, she asked me,"Hey hi, Y/n. So how was it?"
"Ohh it's amazing, everyone is amazing. It's like you wouldn't want to look away even for a second,
every scene are worth watching for." I said honestly.
"Really? that's good.", she proceed, "I saw you taking a picture, you enjoyed pretty well?"
"Yes, and promise those pictures would not spread. I'm just going to keep that since I wouldn't not
be able to watch again."

"Sweetheart, It didn't even crossed my mind. And about that, you could stop by anytime to watch
our rehearsal. Just simply say to the guard that I invited you.". Oh my fucking god.

"Gosh, really? I have to tell you, you might be surprise that you'll see me everyday here."

"Guess, I have something to expect now." she said while smiling. "By the way, do you have any
plans later? I want to take you out for dinner... at least to thank you for coming by and about
yesterday." she said.

"Oh Cate... no, you don't have to. You already gave me a bunch, I can't thank you enough. For this
kind of experience, It's already a lot. Besides I might need to get some groceries later, so I'm
graciously saying no" I replied. Her team already left a while ago after saying their goodbyes. So
it's just only me and her now. Now, she wear this black floral dress, top with, I think a black suit
and a gray trench coat, matching it with her black boots.

"Perhaps, we could do that after? I could really help you." she said. I would go eat dinner with her
and get some groceries with the famous Cate Blanchett? this must be a dream.
"No, Cate. Really, you don't need to do that".
"Please, I insist... Your biggest crush is inviting you for a dinner, y/n. We wouldn't want to reject
her, right?" she said while grinning, she really knows her effect. I mean, how could I resist in that
question? It's true.
"You're good, You really are good with this". I said, I can't win this kind of conversation with her.
"So, it's a yes?", she said while smiling widely.
"Yes. BUT!!", pointing my finger up, "Let me pay for my own dinner."
"Okay, okay. It's a deal then." she said finally.
